Children's Literature

Begin primary graders' search for cetacean information with Gail Gibbons' Whales. In her distinctive straightforward style, Ms. Gibbons introduces young reader/researchers to whale families and features, from their wolf-like ancestor, the mesonychid, to the currently endangered, 100-foot-long, blue behemoth. The author/artist's watercolor and pen-and-ink drawings clearly delineate each of the more than a dozen species she's identified.
